I know it's a bit late, but I'd like to wish everyone Happy [belated] Holidays, Merry Christmas, Season's Greetings.
And while I'm at it, I'd like to wish all of you a very Happy New Year.

We're back from making our annual Christmas family rounds, and are ready for a little break.  Soooo, we'll spend the rest of the year [and the week] in our little place on Long Island.
I plan on filling my days with walks on the beach if the weather and winds allow me, reading and lazing around, watching LOST and maybe trying to shed the extra pounds that I'm blaming on the Christmas cooking my mom bakes every year.  Mmmm.

I'll be back in the studio on Monday, filling the rest of the orders that trickled in after the Holiday rush, answering emails, and cleaning the studio.

Until then, I hope everyone had a fantastic Holiday and I'll see you in 2010.

Cheers,
M

Had a fabulous time at the milliners' fete.
Sipped too much bubbly, met many new hat enthusiasts and caught up with old friends.
Pictures coming soon, I promise.

I'm feeling inspired to make hats again. So far the ones I've made for myself were received well.
Just may have to add some to the collection.

On an unrelated note...
Caroline and I are planning a little holiday shopping event in her lovely gallery in Williamsburg. The dates are December 12th and 13th.
More details to follow, but save the dates.

Have a great weekend.

XO,
M
